The other day we told you about Foxy Bingo sponsoring The Jeremy Kyle Show, well there’s a new celebrity on the bingo circuit! 888 Ladies have taken on Vic Reeves to promote their brand new bingo website. Reeves not only features on the homepage of 888 Ladies, but stars in their TV advert…

The site, from the owners of 888 Casino and Pacific Poker obviously intend to make a dent in the every crowded bingo market. To start with new players can pick up £10 of free bingo (although you must register a credit/debit card). Plus there’s Team Bingo and jackpots that feature the number 8 a number of times! Play at 888 Bingo during February and you could win a £5,000 London shopping spree package. Earn prize points for every 10p you spend.

Apart from Reeves, a vast splashing of the number 8 and a free tenner of bingo, there’s not a lot else here that you won’t find at other bingo sites. The portrayal of bingo as being only for ladies (or even that if you’re a man you must put on a nice dress before playing) however seems a bit sterotypical and not very 2008. Bingo can be enjoyed by male and female and perhaps a 888 Ladies may not appeal to the guys?

The TV advert though is quite funny and a nice change from the singing bingo ads from the likes of The Sun and Foxy Bingo.
